Abstract

THE following grants have just been made from the Research Fund of the Chemical Society:—30l. to Mr. W. Whitley Williams for experiments on an improved method of organic analysis; 25l. to Mr. M. M. Pattison Muir, of Caius College, Cambridge, for determining the physical constants and chemical habitudes of certain bismuth compounds; 15l. to Mr. J. M. Thomson for experiments on the action of isornorphous bodies in exciting the crystallisation of super-saturated solutions; 50l. to Dr. Wright for continuing his researches on chemical dynamics; 25l. to Mr. F. D. Brown for continuing his researches on the theory of fractional distillation; 30l. to Mr. Bolas for an investigation of certain chromium compounds; 20l. to Mr. F. R. Japp for an investigation of the action of organo-zinc compounds on quinones; and 100l. (the De la Rue donation) to Dr. H. E. Armstrong for the determination of certain physical properties, especially refractive indices, of typical chemical compounds. Dr. De la Rue has announced his intention of presenting the fund with another 100l. This will be the third donation of that amount which the fund has received from him.
